Chart patterns
Special Engulfing BarsExplanation of the Code:
Bullish Engulfing:
low <= low : The low of the current candle is lower than or equal to the low of the previous candle.
close >= close : The close of the current candle is higher than or equal to the close of the previous candle.
close > open: The current candle is bullish.
open > close : The previous candle is bearish.
Bearish Engulfing:
high >= high : The high of the current candle is higher than or equal to the high of the previous candle.
close <= close : The close of the current candle is lower than or equal to the close of the previous candle.
close < open: The current candle is bearish.
open < close : The previous candle is bullish.
Plot shape : Displays a signal on the chart when a bullish engulfing pattern (green color) or a bearish engulfing pattern (red color) is detected.
Alert condition : Sets an alert to send a notification when a bullish or bearish engulfing pattern is detected.
MA Crossover StrategyIt is very simple strategy, in this you will will whenever MA 7 crossover MA 30 you will get the Buy and Sell signal. Best time frame to test this strategy is 4 hour and 1 day. Also you can try 1 hour and 15 min time frame
Candle Body Percentage IndicatorThe Candle Body Percentage Indicator is a custom TradingView script designed to display the percentage of the candle's body relative to the full candle length for each bar on the chart. This indicator helps traders quickly assess the strength of price movements by comparing the body (the range between the open and close prices) to the total range of the candle (the range between the high and low prices).
Features:
Body Length Calculation: The indicator calculates the absolute difference between the open and close prices to determine the body length of the candle.
Full Length Calculation: It also calculates the total length of the candle by finding the difference between the high and low prices.
Body Percentage Calculation: The body length is then divided by the full length of the candle and multiplied by 100 to get the body percentage.
Label Display: For each candle, the indicator places a label above the high of the candle showing the body percentage. The label includes the percentage value and a "%" sign for clarity.
ATR X-PowerATR X-Power is a simple graphical representation of Average True Range.
The ATR is calculated on a daily basis and averaged over the "Length" specified in settings (default is 14 days).
At the start of the day, the starting price is recorded and five horizontal lines are drawn which illustrate possible ranges for the day:
Starting price
Starting price + ATR (+100%)
Starting price - ATR (-100%)
Starting price + ATR/2 (+50%)
Starting price - ATR/2 (-50%)
The final two lines are drawn using the ATR half values in such a way that a X is formed. The X represents possible motion of the price back to starting price (also known as reversion to mean). The two lines are drawn as follows:
Beginning at (Starting Price + ATR/2) and ending at (Starting Price - ATR/2)
Beginning at (Starting Price - ATR/2) and ending at (Starting Price + ATR/2)
Use cases:
ATR presents us with the average amount of price fluctuation we can expect to see in a single day on a specific instrument
If price is near the extremes (+/-100% ATR) for the day, then probability of it moving outside that range is low, which increases odds of a reversal

Outside Bar ProbabilityOutside Bar Percentage by Hour Indicator
Description:
The "Outside Bar Percentage by Hour" indicator is a powerful tool designed to analyze the occurrence of outside bars within each hour of the trading day. This indicator not only tracks the frequency of these key market events but also provides a detailed breakdown of their distribution, allowing traders to identify potential patterns and key trading hours.
What It Does:
Outside Bar Detection: The indicator identifies "outside bars," which occur when the high of a bar is higher than the previous bar's high, and the low is lower than the previous bar's low. These bars often signal significant market moves and potential reversals.
Hourly Analysis: The script tracks the total number of bars and outside bars for each hour (0 to 23) of the trading day. This granular analysis helps traders pinpoint specific hours when outside bars are more likely to occur.
Percentage Calculation: It calculates the percentage chance of an outside bar occurring for each hour, based on the total bars observed. This percentage provides a clear view of the likelihood of encountering an outside bar within a given hour, which can be critical for timing entries and exits.
Visual Representation: The data is displayed in a table format directly on the chart, showing:
Hour: The specific hour of the day.
Total Bars: The total number of bars observed during each hour.
Outside Bar Count: The number of outside bars detected in that hour.
Percentage: The calculated percentage chance of an outside bar occurring in each hour.
How It Works:
The indicator uses a loop to analyze each bar in real-time, checking if it qualifies as an outside bar. It then records the occurrence in arrays that track data for each hour.
At the start of each new day, the counts are reset to ensure the data remains relevant and accurate.
The percentage chance of an outside bar occurring is computed using the formula: (Outside Bar Count / Total Bar Count) * 100.
The results are neatly organized in a table that updates dynamically, providing traders with real-time insights.
How to Use It:
Identify Key Trading Hours: Use the table to observe the distribution of outside bars across different hours. This can help you identify when significant market moves are more likely to occur.
Time Your Entries and Exits: Understanding the likelihood of outside bars can assist in timing your trades, particularly if you use strategies that rely on volatility or market reversals.
Market Analysis: The percentage data can provide insights into the market's behavior during specific times, helping you refine your trading strategy based on historical patterns.
Concepts Underlying the Calculations:
The script leverages the concept of "outside bars," which are often considered indicators of potential reversals or significant market movements. By analyzing these bars across different hours, the indicator provides a temporal dimension to market analysis, helping traders understand when these pivotal events are most likely to occur.
The detailed hourly breakdown and percentage calculations offer a nuanced view of market activity, making it a valuable tool for traders looking to enhance their timing and strategic decision-making.
This indicator is suitable for all types of traders, including those focused on day trading, swing trading, or even longer-term analysis. It provides a unique perspective on market activity that can complement other technical indicators and analyses.
Candlestick Reversal SignalsTitle: Candlestick Reversal Signals
This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and plot signals for two key candlestick reversal patterns: Bullish and Bearish Engulfing patterns, as well as Bullish and Bearish Harami patterns. These patterns are widely recognized for their ability to indicate potential trend reversals in the market, providing traders with valuable insights for making informed trading decisions.
Features:
• Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the current candle’s close is higher than the previous candle’s open, and the current candle’s open is lower than the previous candle’s close. Additionally, the current candle’s close must be higher than the previous candle’s close, and the current candle’s open must be lower than the previous candle’s open.
• Signal: When a Bullish Engulfing pattern is detected, a green label is plotted below the relevant bar, indicating a potential upward reversal.
• Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the current candle’s close is lower than the previous candle’s open, and the current candle’s open is higher than the previous candle’s close. Additionally, the current candle’s close must be lower than the previous candle’s close, and the current candle’s open must be higher than the previous candle’s open.
• Signal: When a Bearish Engulfing pattern is detected, a red label is plotted above the relevant bar, indicating a potential downward reversal.
• Bullish Harami Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the previous candle is a bearish candle (open higher than close), and the current candle is a bullish candle (close higher than open) that is contained within the body of the previous bearish candle.
• Signal: When a Bullish Harami pattern is detected, a green label is plotted below the relevant bar, indicating a potential upward reversal.
• Bearish Harami Pattern:
• Conditions: This pattern is identified when the previous candle is a bullish candle (open lower than close), and the current candle is a bearish candle (close lower than open) that is contained within the body of the previous bullish candle.
• Signal: When a Bearish Harami pattern is detected, a red label is plotted above the relevant bar, indicating a potential downward reversal.
Usage:
To use this script, simply add it to your TradingView chart. The script will automatically highlight the Bullish and Bearish Engulfing patterns, as well as Bullish and Bearish Harami patterns, by plotting green and red labels on the chart. These visual signals make it easy to spot potential reversal points, helping traders to identify and capitalize on trading opportunities.
Example:
• When you see a green “Bullish Engulfing” label below a candlestick, it suggests that the market might reverse upwards, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
• Conversely, a red “Bearish Engulfing” label above a candlestick suggests a potential downward reversal, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
• A green “Bullish Harami” label below a candlestick also indicates a potential upward reversal.
• A red “Bearish Harami” label above a candlestick indicates a potential downward reversal.
This indicator is a valuable addition to any trader’s technical analysis toolkit, providing clear and actionable signals based on well-established candlestick patterns. By incorporating these reversal patterns into your analysis, you can enhance your trading strategy and improve your decision-making process.

█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Swing Highs and Swing Lows
• A swing high is a green candle or series of consecutive green candles followed by a single red candle to complete the swing and form the peak.
• A swing low is a red candle or series of consecutive red candles followed by a single green candle to complete the swing and form the trough.
Peak and Trough Prices
• The peak price of a complete swing high is the high price of either the red candle that completes the swing high or the high price of the preceding green candle, depending on which is higher.
• The trough price of a complete swing low is the low price of either the green candle that completes the swing low or the low price of the preceding red candle, depending on which is lower.
Historic Peaks and Troughs
The current, or most recent, peak and trough occurrences are referred to as occurrence zero. Previous peak and trough occurrences are referred to as historic and ordered numerically from right to left, with the most recent historic peak and trough occurrences being occurrence one.
Upper Trends
• A return line uptrend is formed when the current peak price is higher than the preceding peak price.
• A downtrend is formed when the current peak price is lower than the preceding peak price.
• A double-top is formed when the current peak price is equal to the preceding peak price.
Lower Trends
• An uptrend is formed when the current trough price is higher than the preceding trough price.
• A return line downtrend is formed when the current trough price is lower than the preceding trough price.
• A double-bottom is formed when the current trough price is equal to the preceding trough price.
Range
The range is simply the difference between the current peak and current trough prices, generally expressed in terms of points or pips.
Wave Cycles
A wave cycle is here defined as a complete two-part move between a swing high and a swing low, or a swing low and a swing high. The first swing high or swing low will set the course for the sequence of wave cycles that follow; for example a chart that begins with a swing low will form its first complete wave cycle upon the formation of the first complete swing high and vice versa.
Figure 1.
Retracement and Extension Ratios
Retracement and extension ratios are calculated by dividing the current range by the preceding range and multiplying the answer by 100. Retracement ratios are those that are equal to or below 100% of the preceding range and extension ratios are those that are above 100% of the preceding range.
Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Ratios
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers, starting with 0 and 1. For example 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, and so on. Ultimately, we could go on forever but the first few numbers in the sequence are as follows: 0 , 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.
The extension ratios are calculated by dividing each number in the sequence by the number preceding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.6666..., 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.6153..., 34/21 = 1.6190..., 55/34 = 1.6176..., 89/55 = 1.6181..., 144/89 = 1.6179..., and so on. The retracement ratios are calculated by inverting this process and dividing each number in the sequence by the number proceeding it. For example 0/1 = 0, 1/1 = 1, 1/2 = 0.5, 2/3 = 0.666..., 3/5 = 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625, 8/13 = 0.6153..., 13/21 = 0.6190..., 21/34 = 0.6176..., 34/55 = 0.6181..., 55/89 = 0.6179..., 89/144 = 0.6180..., and so on.
Fibonacci ranges are typically drawn from left to right, with retracement levels representing ratios inside of the current range and extension levels representing ratios extended outside of the current range. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing low, the Fibonacci range is drawn from peak to trough. If the current wave cycle ends on a swing high the Fibonacci range is drawn from trough to peak.
Measurement Tolerances
Tolerance refers to the allowable variation or deviation from a specific value or dimension. It is the range within which a particular measurement is considered to be acceptable or accurate. I have applied this concept in my pattern detection logic and have set default tolerances where applicable, as perfect patterns are, needless to say, very rare.
Chart Patterns
Generally speaking price charts are nothing more than a series of swing highs and swing lows. When demand outweighs supply over a period of time prices swing higher and when supply outweighs demand over a period of time prices swing lower. These swing highs and swing lows can form patterns that offer insight into the prevailing supply and demand dynamics at play at the relevant moment in time.
‘Let us assume… that you the reader, are not a member of that mysterious inner circle known to the boardrooms as “the insiders”… But it is fairly certain that there are not nearly so many “insiders” as amateur trader supposes and… It is even more certain that insiders can be wrong… Any success they have, however, can be accomplished only by buying and selling… hey can do neither without altering the delicate poise of supply and demand that governs prices. Whatever they do is sooner or later reflected on the charts where you… can detect it. Or detect, at least, the way in which the supply-demand equation is being affected… So, you do not need to be an insider to ride with them frequently… prices move in trends. Some of those trends are straight, some are curved; some are brief and some are long and continued… produced in a series of action and reaction waves of great uniformity. Sooner or later, these trends change direction; they may reverse (as from up to down), or they may be interrupted by some sort of sideways movement and then, after a time, proceed again in their former direction… when a price trend is in the process of reversal… a characteristic area or pattern takes shape on the chart, which becomes recognisable as a reversal formation… Needless to say, the first and most important task of the technical chart analyst is to learn to know the important reversal formations and to judge what they may signify in terms of trading opportunities’ (Edwards & Magee, 1948).
This is as true today as it was when Edwards and Magee were writing in the first half of the last Century, study your patterns and make judgements for yourself about what their implications truly are on the markets and timeframes you are interested in trading.
Over the years, traders have come to discover a multitude of chart and candlestick patterns that are supposed to pertain information on future price movements. However, it is never so clear cut in practice and patterns that where once considered to be reversal patterns are now considered to be continuation patterns and vice versa. Bullish patterns can have bearish implications and bearish patterns can have bullish implications. As such, I would highly encourage you to do your own backtesting.
There is no denying that chart patterns exist, but their implications will vary from market to market and timeframe to timeframe. So it is down to you as an individual to study them and make decisions about how they may be used in a strategic sense.
Harmonic Patterns
The concept of harmonic patterns in trading was first introduced by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market", published in 1935. Gartley observed that markets have a tendency to move in repetitive patterns, and he identified several specific patterns that he believed could be used to predict future price movements. The bullish and bearish Gartley patterns are the oldest recognized harmonic patterns in trading and all the other harmonic patterns are modifications of the original Gartley patterns. Gartley patterns are fundamentally composed of 5 points, or 4 waves.
Since then, many other traders and analysts have built upon Gartley's work and developed their own variations of harmonic patterns. One such contributor is Larry Pesavento, who developed his own methods for measuring harmonic patterns using Fibonacci ratios. Pesavento has written several books on the subject of harmonic patterns and Fibonacci ratios in trading. Another notable contributor to harmonic patterns is Scott Carney, who developed his own approach to harmonic trading in the late 1990s and also popularised the use of Fibonacci ratios to measure harmonic patterns. Carney expanded on Gartley's work and also introduced several new harmonic patterns, such as the Shark pattern and the 5-0 pattern.
█ INPUTS
• Change pattern and label colours
• Show or hide patterns individually
• Adjust pattern tolerances
• Set or remove alerts for individual patterns
█ NOTES
You can test the patterns with your own strategies manually by applying the indicator to your chart while in bar replay mode and playing through the history. You could also automate this process with PineScript by using the conditions from my swing and pattern libraries as entry conditions in the strategy tester or your own custom made strategy screener.
█ LIMITATIONS
All green and red candle calculations are based on differences between open and close prices, as such I have made no attempt to account for green candles that gap lower and close below the close price of the preceding candle, or red candles that gap higher and close above the close price of the preceding candle. This may cause some unexpected behaviour on some markets and timeframes. I can only recommend using 24-hour markets, if and where possible, as there are far fewer gaps and, generally, more data to work with.

█ INPUTS
• Change pattern and label colours
• Show or hide patterns individually
• Adjust pattern ratios and tolerances
• Set or remove alerts for individual patterns
█ NOTES
I have decided to rename some of my previously published patterns based on the way in which the pattern completes. If the pattern completes on a swing high then the pattern is considered bearish, if the pattern completes on a swing low then it is considered bullish. This may seem confusing but it makes sense when you come to backtesting the patterns and want to use the most recent peak or trough prices as stop losses. Patterns that can complete on both a swing high and swing low are for such reasons treated as neutral, namely all broadening and wedge variations. I trust that it is quite self-evident that double and triple bottom patterns are considered bullish while double and triple top patterns are considered bearish, so I did not feel the need to rename those.
The patterns that have been renamed and what they have been renamed to, are as follows:
• Ascending Elliot Waves to Bearish Elliot Waves
• Descending Elliot Waves to Bullish Elliot Waves
• Ascending Head and Shoulders to Bearish Ascending Head and Shoulders
• Descending Head and Shoulders to Bearish Descending Head and Shoulders
• Head and Shoulders to Bearish Head and Shoulders
• Ascending Inverse Head and Shoulders to Bullish Ascending Head and Shoulders
• Descending Inverse Head and Shoulders to Bullish Descending Head and Shoulders
• Inverse Head and Shoulders to Bullish Head and Shoulders

OrderBlock Trend (CISD)OrderBlock Trend (CISD) Indicator
Overview:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" AKA: change in state of delivery by ICT inner circle trader this indicator is designed to help traders identify and visualize market trends based on higher timeframe candle behavior. This script leverages the concept of order blocks, which are price levels where significant buying or selling activity has occurred, to signal potential trend reversals or continuations. By analyzing bullish and bearish order blocks on a higher timeframe, the indicator provides visual cues and statistical insights into the market's current trend dynamics.
Key Features:
Higher Timeframe Analysis: The indicator uses a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) to assess the trend direction based on the open and close prices of candles. This approach helps in identifying more significant and reliable trend changes, filtering out noise from lower timeframes.
Bullish and Bearish Order Blocks: The script detects the first bullish or bearish candle on the selected higher timeframe and uses these candles as reference points (order blocks) to determine the trend direction. A bullish trend is indicated when the current price is above the last bearish order block's open price, and a bearish trend is indicated when the price is below the last bullish order block's open price.
Visual Trend Indication: The indicator visually represents the trend using background colors and plot shapes:
A green background and a square shape above the bars indicate a bullish trend.
A red background and a square shape above the bars indicate a bearish trend.
Candle Count and Statistics: The script keeps track of the number of up and down candles during bullish and bearish trends, providing percentages of up and down candles in each trend. This data is displayed in a table, giving traders a quick overview of market sentiment during each trend phase.
User Customization: The higher timeframe can be adjusted according to the trader's preference, allowing flexibility in trend analysis based on different time horizons.
Concepts and Calculations:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" indicator is based on the concept of order blocks, a key area where institutional traders are believed to place large orders, creating significant support or resistance levels. By identifying these blocks on a higher timeframe, the indicator aims to highlight potential trend reversals or continuations. The use of higher timeframe data helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on more meaningful price movements.
The candle count and percentage calculations provide additional context, allowing traders to understand the proportion of bullish or bearish candles within each trend. This information can be useful for assessing the strength and consistency of a trend.
How to Use:
Select the Higher Timeframe: Choose the higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) that best suits your trading strategy. The default setting is "D" (Daily), but it can be adjusted to other timeframes as needed.
Interpret the Trend Signals:
A green background indicates a bullish trend, while a red background indicates a bearish trend. The corresponding square shapes above the bars reinforce these signals.
Use the information on the proportion of up and down candles during each trend to gauge the trend's strength and consistency.
Trading Decisions: The indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to make informed trading decisions. It is particularly useful for identifying trend reversals and potential entry or exit points based on the behavior of higher timeframe order blocks.
Customization and Optimization: Experiment with different higher timeframes and settings to optimize the indicator for your specific trading style and preferences.
Conclusion:
The "OrderBlock Trend (CISD)" indicator offers a comprehensive approach to trend analysis, combining the power of higher timeframe order blocks with clear visual cues and statistical insights. By understanding the underlying concepts and utilizing the provided features, traders can enhance their trend detection and decision-making processes in the markets.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is intended for educational purposes and should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods. Always perform your own research and risk management before making trading decisions.
Some known bugs when you switch to lower timeframe while using daily timeframe data it didn't use the daily candle close to establish the trend change but your current time frame If some of you know how to fix it that would be great if you help me to I would try my best to fix this in the future :) credit to ChatGPT 4o
Prospect Theory IndicatorProspect Theory Indicator
This indicator is designed based on Prospect Theory, which was developed by Nobel laureates Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Prospect Theory explains how people make decisions involving risk and uncertainty, highlighting their tendency to value potential losses more than equivalent gains and their focus on relative gains and losses rather than absolute outcomes.
Features:
1. Reference Points: The indicator calculates and displays the highest and lowest prices over a specified period (default is 14 periods). These are the reference points used to evaluate current price movements.
2. Risk/Reward Ratio: It calculates the risk/reward ratio by comparing the current price to the reference points. The risk is defined as the distance to the lowest point, and the reward as the distance to the highest point.
3. Visual Indicators:
• Green Line: Indicates the highest reference point (High Reference Point).
• Red Line: Indicates the lowest reference point (Low Reference Point).
• Green Triangle: Displays when the reward outweighs the risk, suggesting a favorable condition for entering a trade.
• Red Triangle: Displays when the risk outweighs the reward, suggesting a cautious approach.
4. Labels: Provides real-time labels showing the risk/reward ratio, and marks the current conditions as “High Risk” or “High Reward” based on the calculated ratio.
Usage:
• Entry Signals: Use green triangles for potential buy entries when the reward is higher than the risk.
• Exit Signals: Use red triangles as a signal to review your positions, as the risk has become higher than the reward.
• Risk Management: Continuously monitor the risk/reward ratio to maintain optimal risk management in your trading strategy.
This indicator helps traders make more informed and objective decisions, mitigating the emotional biases described by Prospect Theory.
[SGM Ordinal Patterns]An ordinal pattern is a concept used in mathematics and time series analysis. It is a way of describing the relative order of values in a sequence. Rather than focusing on the exact values, we are interested in how they compare to each other.
An ordinal pattern will tell you how these values are positioned relative to each other.
We do not look at the exact values, but only their order.
Concrete Example
• 4 (position 1 in the original sequence) is in position 2 in the ordered sequence.
• 7 (position 2 in the original sequence) is in position 3 in the ordered sequence.
• 2 (position 3 in the original sequence) is in position 1 in the ordered sequence.
The ordinal pattern for this sequence is then (2,3,1)(2, 3, 1)(2,3,1).
Script Explanation
This script analyzes ordinal patterns based on the closing prices of the last three bars and calculates the future gains associated with each ordinal pattern.
The main elements of the script are:
1. ordinal_pattern Function:
o Determines the ordinal pattern based on three past closing values.
o Returns an index (from 0 to 5) corresponding to one of the six possible ordinal patterns.
2. Calculations and Storage:
o For each new bar, the last three closes are used to identify the ordinal pattern.
o Future gains are calculated and associated with the previous ordinal pattern.
o Return statistics (mean, standard deviation and Sharpe ratio) are calculated for each pattern.
3. Visualization:
o Draws lines connecting the last three closes.
o Tables displaying the number of occurrences, distributions, and return statistics for each ordinal pattern.
What the Script Shows:
• Table motifs_table : Number of occurrences and distribution of each ordinal pattern. An uneven distribution between patterns (different by one sixth for each pattern) can indicate market inefficiency.
• Table pattern_analysis : Analysis of returns (mean, standard deviation, Sharpe ratio) for each ordinal pattern.
• Table current_motif_table : Ordinal pattern of the last bar.
This script helps to understand and visualize how ordinal patterns influence future returns of financial asset prices. An uneven distribution of patterns can indicate market inefficiencies.
NOVO ALGO - Starry SkyGeneral Description:
This indicator provides the possible buy and sell entry with the estimated risk and its corresponding Stop Loss (SL) value.
It has originally developed for 1-min chart and works the best on this time-frame. It may work on the other time-frames, but its profitability has not been checked. So, I would rather recommend to use and apply it only on 1-min chart.
Novelty of the indicator:
Trading in 1-min chart consists of dealing with so many small swings and price variations which are very local and does not affect the general trend even in the 5-min time frame.
We call these small price variations and swings 'Noise'.
The novelty of the indicator is in a parameter which we call the Noise Level and filtering length.
It has been widely used in the Fluid Dynamics and in the Large Eddy Simulations where small noises of flow is removed by a dynamic filter.
In this indicator, we have tried to incorporate the same idea but in the price trend detection.
For the current version, we have used a less tolerance for noise level which results in much less signals compared to the full capacity of the indicator. It roughly sends out around 10-15% of the total confirmed positions.
How it detects the entry positions
To define the entry point, 5 main properties are considered and checked at 3 main time frames including 1-min, 5-min, and 15-min.
These time-frames are selected based on the fact that the target chart is in 1-min.
The 5 properties evaluated are:
1- Smooth Moving Average
2- Bollinger Band
3- Price Regression
4- Candle Pattern
5- Volume
Detailed Description:
Detect a possible entry by Smooth Moving Average:
- At each time frame, 3 lengths are considered to calculate the price moving average values; i.e. short, medium and long lengths.
- The interaction of these MAs, of course, defines the local trend of the price generally. It also provides an idea about the strength of the trend.
- The information calculated at 1-min time frame triggers the possible buy/sell. However, it waits until getting confirmation from the upper time frame (5-min).
- We use the MAs of 15-min time frame to define the general dominant price trend and stop reverse signals when the trend is fully dominant in one direction.
When a possible entry position is triggered by the MAs, at that very price bar we calculate the noise level.
If the noise level is higher than a certain predefined value, then the signal is rejected. Otherwise the signal gets out.
The threshold we use to define if a signal is noisy or not is normalized so it can be used without any concern at different markets.
We believe the calculations and ideas behind the Noise Level is what makes this indicator unique and practical.
We define the noise level parameter based on the following properties:
1- Smooth Moving Average at upper time frame (basically 15-min):
If a possible signal is against the trend of the upper time-frame, the noise level is increased.
If it is in the direction of the upper time-frame trend, then the noise level is untouched.
As already mentioned, different lengths are used. So, as the length of MA is larger its impact on the noise level is considered higher.
2- Bollinger Band of upper time frames (5-min and 15-min)
We employ bollinger bands to define 4 regions.
1. Above the upper band
2. Between middle and upper band
3. Between Lower and middle bands
4. Below the lower band
Then use these 4 regions along with the candle position and price regression.
For example, if the price regression line and candle position are on the same region of BB, then we assume less possibility for reverse or strong trend.
Consequently, we increase the noise level parameter. On the other hand, if they belong to two different region, we assume more possibility for big price change, and so we lower the noise level.
3- Price Regression
We use average price regression line to filter out very small swings in the price. We have also set a criterion of continuity for the regression line that ensures small price variation and swings are left out and filtered.
This will come with the sot of delay in the confirmation of signal, but we found it very important to remove very small swings of price that, for example, consists of only few bars in 1-min chart.
We have also used the position of the regression line along with the regions defied by BBs to evaluate the strength of a newly detected trend.
As candles will always reach to the regression at some point, if a possible entry is detected and the regression line and candles belong to two different region, we assume a strong price change. But if they belong to the same region, we increase the noise level and will assume that it might be a small swing.
4- Candle Pattern
We assumed several rules for candles shape and prices to define if a price movement is strong or it is just a small swing. For example we expect the price to be increase in the last 2-3 candles if we should call a entry for long position.
These set of self-made rules have been extracted by using the visual inspections of the price movement. This has been done much more advanced for long entry position which has resulted in more long signals by the indicator.
5- Volume
We use volume of trades in 1-min, 5-min, and 15-min to evaluate the strength of the trend. We use both absolute and what we call directional volume! The directional volume is the volume with the sign of the candle. This helps us to know if the reverse trend supported by enough volume or it is just a small swing.
For example, if the directional volume of 1-min can surpass the 5-min directional volume, this indicates to us that the importance of 5-min data and its validity is less. So, more focus will be put on the 1-min volume data and the direction it indicates.
Money Management:
Profit calculation: the profit is calculated based on the user defined leverage (default 100x). The user has the option to change the buy/sell leverages to the desired values.
Risk assessment: The user has the option to adjust the risk of the trades. Then the SL value will be calculated for each trade according to the defined risk value.
If a value of zero is set for the risk, then the indicator will define the local SL of each trade based on the pivot point.
As in 1-min trading, the prices are noise and include several small swings and consequently several minor pivot points, we filtered the pivot points that belong to the super small swings detected by our noise level indicator.
Suggestion
I found it more profitable to make the trades risk-free when their profits passes 10% (with leverage 100x). Then, readjust the TP of trades if the trend is in the direction of the position.
I would recommend to observe the performance of the indicator for a day or two, before actually trading with its signals. This will help to have a better understanding of the leverage and risk you may apply.
Bullish Breakout After ConsolidationDescription:
The Bullish Breakout After Consolidation Indicator is designed to help traders identify potential bullish breakout opportunities following a period of tight price consolidation. This indicator combines price action and volume analysis to signal when a stock may experience a significant upward movement.
Features:
Consolidation Range Tightness: The indicator identifies periods where the stock price consolidates within a narrow range, defined as a range less than 2% of the lowest low during the consolidation period. This tight consolidation is often a precursor to strong price movements.
Breakout Detection: Once the price breaks above the highest high of the consolidation range, and this breakout occurs after a specified number of days post-consolidation, the indicator marks it as a potential breakout opportunity.
Volume Confirmation: To avoid false breakouts, the indicator requires increased trading volume during the breakout. This ensures that the breakout is supported by substantial market activity.
Visual Cues:
Breakout Label: A "Breakout" label appears above the bar where a valid breakout occurs, making it easy to spot potential entry points.
Support and Resistance Lines: Horizontal lines plot the highest high (resistance) and lowest low (support) during the consolidation period, helping traders visualize the breakout levels.
Moving Averages: Optional 20-day and 50-day simple moving averages are plotted for additional trend confirmation.
How to Use:
Apply the Indicator: Add the indicator to your chart in TradingView to start analyzing potential breakouts.
Observe Consolidation: Look for tight consolidation periods where the price trades within a narrow range.
Identify Breakouts: Watch for breakouts where the price moves above the highest high of the consolidation range, supported by increased volume.
Confirm with Labels: The "Breakout" label will help you quickly identify valid breakout signals.
Parameters:
Consolidation Length: Number of days to consider for consolidation.
Range Percentage: Maximum percentage range for consolidation tightness.
Days After Consolidation: Number of days post-consolidation to check for the breakout.
Note: As with any trading tool, it is important to use this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy and in conjunction with other forms of analysis.

Entropy Volatility Index [CHE]I Entropy Volatility Index (EVI)
II An Experimental Script for Measuring Market Volatility
III Introduction
The Entropy Volatility Index (EVI) is an experimental indicator based on concepts from thermodynamics and information theory. The goal of the EVI is to quantify market uncertainty and volatility by calculating the entropy of price changes.
IV Basic Concepts
Entropy in Thermodynamics
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy in a closed system tends to increase over time.
Entropy in Information Theory
In information theory, entropy measures the uncertainty or information content of a random variable.
The entropy H of a random variable X with probability distribution P(x) is calculated as:
H(X) = -∑ P(x) log P(x)
V Derivation of the EVI
Calculation of Price Changes
Absolute price changes are calculated to serve as the basis for probability calculations.
Creation of the Histogram
A histogram is created and initialized to count the frequency of price changes.
Updating the Histogram
The histogram is updated by counting the frequency of each price change.
Calculation of Probabilities
The probabilities of the price changes are calculated based on their frequencies in the histogram.
Calculation of Entropy
Entropy is calculated using the probabilities of price changes. Higher entropy indicates higher uncertainty or disorder in the market.
Plotting the Indicator
The EVI is plotted to visually represent market volatility and uncertainty.
VI Interpretation of the EVI
High EVI Values
High Volatility: Strong and irregular price movements.
High Uncertainty: Increased market uncertainty.
Possible Market Turning Points: Indicators of potential trend changes.
Low EVI Values
Low Volatility: More consistent and predictable price movements.
Stability: More stable market phases.
Trend Consistency: Indicators of stable trends or sideways movements.
VII Conclusion
The Entropy Volatility Index (EVI) is an experimental script that applies concepts from thermodynamics and information theory to measure market volatility. It offers a new perspective on market uncertainty and can be used as an additional tool for traders.
VIII Example Use Cases
Identifying Volatile Phases: Use the EVI to identify periods of high volatility and prepare for potential rapid price movements.
Risk Management: Adjust your risk management strategy based on the EVI. During high EVI periods, consider hedging positions or adjusting position sizes.
Complementing Other Indicators: Combine the EVI with other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
I hope this experimental script provides valuable insights. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Best regards,
